Start By Parsing The Sun

Chapter 116: Such a Talented Young Man

Rain threads filled the sky.

The weather was extremely cold.

Cheng Han sat quietly under the porch, seemingly enjoying the hazy scenery of the drizzling rain.

His gaze had no focus, and his mind was filled with all sorts of random thoughts.

For example,

"The world disturbance caused by the Divine Battle seems to be calming down. It's probably going to start snowing again in the afternoon, and there will be more strange events."

This was the judgment of the All-Knowing Eye, and it would never be wrong.

And also,

"The matter of the Prayer for Life Society has just begun and is far from over. According to the deduction results, 'Giovanni' took over this body twenty-two years ago. After years of hard work, how could he easily give up?

"Last night, this guy gave up his body so decisively. On one hand, it did scare me, but on the other hand, it was to create an illusion and make people think that the Prayer for Life Society had stopped its actions.

"Perhaps I still have a chance to obtain the correlation of the 'Wanling Source Bridge' and analyze a large amount of valuable knowledge from it, completing the two remaining imprints..."

He sighed with a hint of envy, "Divine artifact!"

After a few seconds,

Cheng Han caught the faint sound of footsteps and sensed two pairs of eyes.

They were Chen Tiannan's twin sons.

They were only four years old and had not yet reached the age to go to school.

Just like their sister, Chen Xiuzhi, the twins were full of curiosity about him.

The difference was that Chen Xiuzhi was filled with floating hormones in her mind, while these two children were simply curious.

"Aren't you cold?"

"Come inside and warm up."

The way the twins spoke, one after the other, was very smooth, as if it was the same person speaking.

Perhaps due to the energy source in this world, a considerable number of twins in this world possessed the ability of "telepathy." One would know what the other was thinking very clearly.

In contrast, in his previous life, telepathy was only a folk legend.

Cheng Han turned around and smiled, "I have practiced martial arts, so I'm not afraid of the cold."

The twins called out again.

"My sister is very afraid of the cold!"

"She hates going out in winter the most."

Cheng Han didn't need to deduce to understand that the twins' actions were instigated by Chen Xiuzhi. She was probably waiting in the living room, preparing to create a "coincidental encounter."

At this moment,

A scream sounded.

"Ah~"

This scream came from a maid more than ten meters away.

She was holding a pile of miscellaneous items, but suddenly slipped and fell backward.

Without thinking, Cheng Han grabbed a piece of pastry and flicked his wrist.

He was admiring the rain curtain outside the house, and the Chen family specially sent pastries. It must be said that this family treated him as an honored guest and entertained him wholeheartedly.

"Swoosh!"

The pastry swiftly passed through the rain curtain, flying twenty meters and accurately hitting the maid's waist, helping her regain her balance at the right moment.

The force contained in it was very peculiar. After hitting the maid, the force spread evenly, as if a blanket was supporting her.

"Oops!"

The twins finally exclaimed in unison.

Then,

This pastry, which deformed when squeezed, fell on the wet ground without any change in shape.

For ordinary patrol officers, the above are all quite clever techniques, but for Cheng Han, these are just small tricks he casually uses.

Not worth mentioning.

The twins looked at the maid, then at Cheng Han, both with expressions of astonishment.

"You're so amazing!"

Cheng Han just smiled.

On the other side.

The maid was still in a state of shock and couldn't figure out the situation.

She was eager to finish her work and didn't want to stay in the rain for too long, so she quickly walked away.

Cheng Han thought for a moment and stepped into the rain.

A strange scene occurred.

The raindrops that floated down would automatically avoid him when they were within reach.

It was the Jinhuayuandan technique.

This is a very advanced state and also represents that he is not far from completing Body Tempering.

The twins were immediately dumbfounded.

Cheng Han picked up the snacks, walked back to the porch, and showed a gentle smile to the two children, "It's too cold outside, you'll catch a cold if you stay out for too long, come inside quickly."

The twins obediently responded and returned to the living room together.

Usually, these two little guys would resist their mother's words, but when it came to Cheng Han's words, they instinctively dared not disobey.

Ten minutes later.

Thanks to the propaganda from the two little mouths, Cheng Han's recent deeds quickly spread throughout the mansion.

In the master bedroom.

Chen Tiannan and his wife sighed together.

"Xiu Zhi probably doesn't have a chance anymore!"

"Such a talented young man, I wonder which family's girl he has taken a liking to!"

The couple exchanged a glance, both with a look of regret.

As experienced individuals, they have seen through many people and naturally can tell that this young man has no interest in their daughter.

What a pity!

*

In a certain small spiritual realm.

In the wilderness.

A fierce battle was taking place.

"Whoosh~"

A black gas swiftly swept by.

The grass and trees withered.

The ground cracked.

A gray figure shot out from it and roared, "You must be from the Prayer Society, right? I have never provoked..."

Before finishing the sentence.

It was interrupted by a cold laugh.

"You haven't provoked! But someone has!"

Then came another icy voice.

"Mr. McKenna, please convey our greetings to the Speaker of the 'Aricado' Sub-Council on behalf of us. There will be consequences for the incident in the Tai'an Small Spiritual Realm!"

The tone of the gray figure was filled with confusion, "You two have misunderstood, the Council of the Fallen has not taken any action in the Tai'an Small Spiritual Realm recently."

However.

The two pursuers didn't listen to the explanation at all.

After several tens of seconds.

"Boom!"

The gray shadow exploded into a sky full of flesh and blood.

A gray smoke emerged, carrying an extremely resentful curse: "The punishment of the master will come, and your souls will wail in the 'Flames of Death' for a thousand years!"

The next moment.

A whip made of black gas swept through.

The gray smoke dissipated into nothingness.

*

Two o'clock in the afternoon.

Just as Cheng Han had expected.

The brief rise in temperature came to an end, and the temperature dropped below freezing again. Snowflakes fluttered in the sky once more, covering the horizon.

As if retaliating, the snowflakes at this moment were large and dense. In just a short hour, the ground was covered with half a finger's depth of snow.

Not long after.

The Chen family's mansion became lively.

Because guests had arrived.

And there were quite a few of them.

Chen Tianan's sister and brother, along with their families, came under the pretense of visiting their older brother and seeking refuge.

This was not surprising.

The terrifying Spider Beheading case had caused a stir in Qinglin City. Last night, there was another explosion in the west of the city, rumored to be a fierce battle between extraordinary powerhouses.

The bad news that spread throughout the city made these two families anxious. They had heard that their older brother's house was being protected by official personnel, so it was only natural for them to seek shelter there.

Cheng Han couldn't be bothered with the visitors. He simply stayed in his room, quietly reading historical books.

These were the books borrowed from the mansion's library.

The Chen family was wealthy, and although they weren't particularly fond of reading, they still acquired thousands of books to decorate their facade in order to appear cultured.

"Thud! Thud!"

The door was knocked.

Cheng Han shook his head helplessly and got up to open the door.

Two identical little faces immediately came into view.

They were the twins.

The two children enthusiastically extended an invitation.

"Cheng Han, come play with us on the sled?"

"You're always alone, it's too boring."

The so-called "sled" was a traditional entertainment in this world, and the Chen family mansion had a large yard that was almost an acre in size, making it perfect for this game.

Cheng Han hesitated for a moment and smiled, "Alright."

He didn't really feel bored, but the twins were genuinely well-intentioned, and this was the second time they had invited him. It would be impolite to refuse again and again.

The twins immediately burst into smiles.

"Let's go!"

"We'll go to the backyard!"

The three of them walked through the long corridor and entered the living room.

At this moment.

The noise of the adults chatting and playing cards suddenly quieted down significantly.

All pairs of eyes converged on Cheng Han, filled with curiosity.

There was no doubt.

The two newly arrived families had also heard the various legendary stories about the genius patrol leader.

Cheng Han nodded to the crowd and walked quickly over.

In the hall.

Chen Xiuzhi and two other girls looked at each other and quietly followed.

In the backyard.

Cheng Han witnessed the extravagance of a wealthy family.

There was a specially built circular slide, over thirty meters long, with a sturdy and beautiful snowmobile, obviously a custom-made luxury vehicle, enough to have a lot of fun.

In comparison, children from ordinary families only had a short slide at their doorstep, and their snowmobiles were only crude homemade goods.

Before long.

The courtyard became lively.

Not only did the children from the three families come, but several adults also gathered to watch the excitement.

Because Cheng Han once again demonstrated extraordinary skills.

"Bang!"

He lightly kicked the snowmobile.

The snowmobile immediately shot out, gliding along the circular slide, making two rounds at a steady speed. In the last ten meters, it slowly decelerated and stopped exactly at the starting position.

Under normal circumstances, the Chen family had a servant who would run around the circle with the snowmobile. Due to the uneven snow surface on the slide, there would inevitably be slight bumps.

But this snowmobile was faster, yet extremely stable.

All these circumstances were a bit counterintuitive.

Several adults naturally saw the extraordinary aspect of it, and each of them was amazed.

Cheng Han stood by with a smile, pushing the snowmobile again and again.

For him, this was a return for the extraordinary hospitality of the Chen family.

A group of children scrambled to sit on the snowmobile, all laughing nonstop.

After a while.

A buck-toothed child seemed unhappy that he didn't get another turn and shouted, "Hey, you pushing the snowmobile, you have to push me twice later."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere instantly froze.

The child's mother was startled by the words and repeatedly apologized to Cheng Han, "I'm very sorry, Mr. Cheng, this child lacks manners and doesn't know how to speak."

The child's father, on the other hand, acted more decisively, picking up his own child and spanking him a few times, scolding, "You brainless idiot, go back to the house!"

Anyone with discerning eyes could see that this young man's future achievements would be at least a Black Armor Army soldier. How could this family afford to offend him?

"Wah~"

The child's crying echoed in the backyard.

Chen Tiannan, as the host, also felt very embarrassed.

This talented young man was willing to put aside his status and play with the children, and the atmosphere was originally joyful and harmonious, but it was ruined by the stupid words of a child.

What the hell is going on?

At this moment.

Cheng Han's face suddenly turned serious.

Chen Tiannan observed his expression and cautiously said, "Cheng Han, do you want to go to the living room first and have a cup of tea to warm up?"

Cheng Han shook his head, his tone commanding, "Everyone, leave the backyard and don't come near."

He looked towards the front yard and his voice became extremely penetrating, "Haofang, you immediately return to the outpost and inform Captain Liu to bring people over!"

He urged, "Hurry!"

The response came immediately, "Understood!"

At once.

Everyone realized that something was wrong in the yard.
